Difference between QDEC and glm results
by ye tian 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Dear Freesurfers, I compared my QDEC and glm (command line) results, using the same contrast and threshold, but the size of the red cluster (barely visible on glm) is quite different. Is this a problem? Thank you very much! Sincerely, Ye

Estimated Total Intra Cranial Vol
by stdp82＠virgilio.it 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hi list. I'm looking mailing list to find responce to this question. "Estimated Total Intra Cranial Vol" obtained by asegstats2table also included ventricles volume? I'd like to assess the volumetric changes of a subcortical structures. Do you advise me to consider "Estimated Total Intra Cranial Vol" (with or without ventricles?) or, alternatively, subcortical brain volume? Thank you very much, Stefano

Tracula error - unknown queue "long.q", "short.q"

using mris_make_surfaces for nonstandard input
by David Romano 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hi everyone, I would like to produce lh.white, lh.area, and lh.curv files of the type produced by mris_make_surfaces, but where the input is a mask of the left hemisphere white matter alone. Specifically, suppose I start with the file lh.wm-mask.nii and use mri_convert to make lh.wm-mask.mgz. I can then follow the -tessellate and -fix steps of the -autorecon2 section on the webpage http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReconAllDevTable to produce the file lh.orig, one of the required inputs to mris_make_surfaces. The only other files required to have mris_make_surfaces produce lh.white, lh.area, and lh.curv files, seem to be the files filled.mgz, brain.mgz, and wm.mgz. Since wm.mgz is the output of a call to mri_pretess from the -segmentation step of the -autorecon2 section, I can create wm.mgz by using the command mri_pretess lh.wm-mask.mgz 1 wm.mgz. My inclination at this point is to create copies of wm.mgz that are given the names filled.mgz and brain.mgz. I can then run mris_make_surfaces -whiteonly -noaparc -mgz subjectID lh and the desired files are produced, but I'm not sure what the effect of using wm.mgz as both filled.mgz and brain.mgz would have on the output. Given this setting, my question is: what are the roles played by filled.mgz an brain.mgz in creating the output of mris_make_surfaces? Thanks in advance for your help, David Romano

Output mris_anatomical_stats into table for spreadsheet
by Tara Ann Miskovich 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hello everyone, I am trying to gather the curvature (of a frontal ROI created through mri_mergelabels) through mris_anatomical_stats using the following mris_anatomical_stats -l 1220/label/lh.frontalmerge.label -f frontal_table 1220 lh pial The table produced doesn't upload well into a spreadsheet (measurements all in one cell). Does anyone know how to make a table that can be uploaded into a spreadsheet? Thanks! Tara

lh.orig.nofix vs. lh.white
by David Romano 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hi everyone, I've been trying to go through the various steps described on the page: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReconAllDevTable and I'm trying to understand part of the -autorecon2 section, and in particular, 1) how the lh.orig.nofix file that is produced by the end of the -tessellate subsection is different from the the lh.white file that is produced by the -white subsection, and 2) whether the area and curvature files produced by the command

Re: [Freesurfer] Improving the accuracy of average surfaces made from make_average_subject
by Bruce Fischl 05 Sep '13

Hi Miggy can you cc the list so that others can answer? The two atlases we provide are described in: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/ftp/articles/fischl04-parcellation.pdf https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/ftp/articles/desikan06-parcellation.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2937159/pdf/nihms213933.pdf and yes, I guess you could edit the ribbon.mgz and then convert it back to wm.mgz. You'll need to make sure that the "on" edits are turned to 255 and the "off" ones to 1 (not 0) for things to work properly cheers Bruce On Wed, 4 Sep 2013, Miggy Chuapoco wrote: > Hi Bruce, > Thanks for the help.

license error with FS5.3

I wanted to bump this: I have license errors with FS 5.3 that don't appear for equivalently-configured FS 5.1 and FS 4.5 installations. How shall I troubleshoot?
